Sometimes, picking the right tool for the job entails knowing when to up the ante. The Touring Hybrid EXC does just that, putting the best quality components at the fingertips of its rider for the ultimate in hassle-free reliability. Based around our sleek, durable and easy-to-ride Touring Hybrid frame “ available in Men's, Trapeze and Easy Entry versions to suit any rider “ our designers have selected the kit that's proven itself over time. So, for example, there's an 11 speed Shimano XT-based transmission with wide-ranging 11-46 tooth cassette “ putting the right gear for any hill just a click or two away. Shimano Deore hydraulic disc brakes offer smooth, powerful stopping in any weather conditions, while 47mm Schwalbe tyres give you the comfort and control you need to stay safe. And the easily adjustable, air sprung Suntour suspension fork helps smooth out the roughest of road surfaces. Combined with standard equipment including the integrated luggage carrier, mudguards and lighting set, it's all you need for miles of smiles “ a Bosch e-bike for all reasons.One of the hallmarks of the CUBE Touring Hybrid range is its versatility. But it was just as important to us that that versatility should be available to the widest possible range of riders which is why we set our engineers the task of designing not one, but three frame designs. We knew they'd come up trumps, and they did. Whether you opt for the trapeze, men's or easy entry version of the Touring Hybrid EXC, you can be assured of a frame that's passed our rigorous in-house safety testing. Each one positions the Bosch drive unit and battery optimally, using a combination of clever frame manufacturing technologies like complex hydroforming and gravity casting, so that weight is kept low and stiffness is kept high. The result, when combined with our proprietary Efficent Comfort Geometry, is a Bosch e-bike that handles just as good as it looks. Internal cable routing reduces clutter and maintenance and helps keep gears shifting cleanly. And the integrated luggage rack is such a neat idea, you'll wonder how you managed without it.
